Tahoe City is the center for shopping and out of town entertainment, though the locals love it here too. Tahoe City has a wide variety of shops and exquisite dining choices. Tahoe City itself rests on the breathtaking shores of Lake Tahoe at the mouth of the famed Truckee River. One of the most beautiful beaches is Commons Beach located right off of the main Boulevard in the center of town. Here is where many fun, summertime events take place, including a free, family-oriented music series.
